Ron Clark is the writer of the book The Essential 55. He writes the book about teaching students the rules for life. He was named Disney’s American Teacher of the Year for 2000. He helps many students.
Clark’s story starts at a primary school in North Carolina, the US. When he walks into his fifth - grade class, he meets lots of problems. The children have ▲ interest in learning and they often play or sleep in class. To help them, Clark writes down 55 rules for them. Soon the students do a better job in both study and life.
Some rules from The Essential 55
Rule 1: Make eye contact (交流).
Rule 2: Do your homework every night.
Rule 3: If someone asks you a question, you should ask a question back.
Rule 4: Greet the teachers in school.
Rule 5: Always thank you when you get something.
Clark doesn’t think it’s so hard to teach his students these rules. “I explain (解释) each rule, and then we role - play so that the students know how it works. The first week is just for learning. I will tell them the rules they break. After this week, each time they break a rule, they need to think about it again.” Clark hopes when his students leave his classroom, they can have skills that will help them for their lives.
